LSD in front axle

[Nick21]

I currently am running the trackloc lsd in my rear Dana 44, but I was thinking of replacing that with a true locker, and maybe putting a lsd up front. Do you guys know if lsd in the front preforms good in the snow?

Truetrac would work well in front considering you drive in snow.

In snow, slosh, slush, and any combination thereof, I've found the Detroit TruTrac LSD's to be very effective. I have them in both axles.

Interestingly, I've also found them to be very effective in a wide variety of terrain--including very aggressive climbing--far surpassing the general feedback and reviews I had read and watched prior to install.

Of course, it certainly helps to be properly aired-down; on some aggressive treads (I'm running 35" KM2's); and to exercise wisdom in choosing your lines.

I'm yet considering installing a full-on locker up front--that I can climb skyscrapers, houses--and FEMA-camp barriers (when the time comes)
